District 1 decided – or is it?
Perhaps the “every vote counts” mantra is cliche but you might want to ask District 1 Councilwoman Shanie Shields about that. The final count of five absentee votes remaining from the April 7th city election put Shanie on top by a 133-132 margin over challenger Cynthia Polk. Of course, the closeness of the margin dictates a recount and once in awhile there’s a vote miscounted here or there.
What I wonder is if there is a recount, will occur in time to be complete for the swearing-in ceremony on Monday? That would be yet another bizarre chapter in Salisbury history if Shields is sworn in yet the recount finds Polk being the winner.
If not, then the question becomes whether Shields will stand by a remark she made earlier in the campaign and make this her last term. We have until 2013 to find out but given the razor-thin margins prevalent in that district recently, an election with no incumbent would certainly be a free-for-all.

Please note that the opinions expressed on monoblogue are not necessarily those of the Wicomico County Republican Party Central Committee, of which I'm a member. (But they probably should be.)








Who do you think would have won that race if there were polling for Disrict One at Harvest Baptist Church — my guess is Tim Chaney. And if the west side polling occurred at the new fire station, Cynthia Polk would probably have won.
The location of the single polling place in that District was absurd.
How about getting the Rep. Central Committee and Club to request that it be changed in the future?
